    Heroes

    So...is Niki dead or what? I personally have no problem with Niki. I thought her acting was horrible until I saw that she was going over the top vunerable to show the polor opposite of herself. Pulls it off well too. The episode worked well for me.

    The OAO 2006 US Elections Thread

    I was just thinking what was my favorite campain commercial and then this commercial came on that said that the opposing canidate tried to kill his pregnant sister and starve his mother to death. Good god I love political commercials.

    NBA Preseason Thread

    I have to agree with the "why not cut rose" crowd. Edit...or guy as it seems. He wasn't going to play and they were going to let his contract run out. So they got rid of him early instead of having him angry over his lack of minutes (which he has already been in the press about anyway) and causing any locker room problems. What reasons are there to keep him. They paid to keep him away from the team.

    Red Auerbach dead at 89

    Yeah, I never really believed that Red would die. Now next on my "he will never die list", Bill Cosby.

    http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-h...p&type=lgns Hawks, Marvin Williams out 8 weeks with broken hand. SHIT. God DAMMIT. Sighs....seriously, without him playing at the start of the season and putting up 16 and 9 like I am predicting, I am going to have to hear about "Hawks should have taken Chris Paul" for another few weeks.

    What the fuck were they trying to accomplish there? Someone in marketing ought to be fired for that one.

    PlayStation 3

    I still personallly don't think Sony will win this sales race. the 499 model might sell, but I think they are producing alot more of the 699 models, right? Thats going to hurt them. And incorporating a blu-ray drive was just plain stupid. It drove up cost when there didn't have to be. Should have made it a separte component like the drive with the 360. All the people talking of MORE POWER, seriously, there is only so much you can possibly do. I stress this all the time when it comes to video games. Don't believe all the hype when people say something has 36 bagillian gighertz of power. it means jack shit to people that make the games. So you get some more polys and some slightly higher resolution textures. But the difference between the Ps3 and the 360 is going to be quite minimal when it is all said and done.

    O.J Simpson to write book that details murders

    Seroiusly though, no way in fucking hell OJ killed them HIMSELF. Now, he paid someone to do it, and should rot in jail for the rest of his life for it, but he didn't personally kill them. It was the obvious work of professionals. ANd if the prosecution was so up their own ass with trying to get the famous guy in jail for commiting the murders, they would have done the obvious and got him for paying someone and got that fucker the needle. Instead you have this shit.

    And the PER stat is quite useless anyway. Thats why no one understands it because in the long run, it doesn't mean a damn thing. Al Jefferson is ranked nearly a hundred spots above Ron Artest. Thats how useless it is. Jackie fucking Butler is ranked above Dwight Howard.

    NBA Preseason Thread

    Seriously...fuck greg anthony. I am still pissed about when he went on this rant about how Bob Sura should be disgraced for missing a shot on purpose to get his third straight triple double like 4 years ago when he was with the Hawks. The same Greg Anthony that ran on the court in street clothes and sucker punched Kevin Johnson in 93. Ripper- Can hold a grudge.

    4,000 dead Americans

    The "655,000" is not only talking about people who have died from bombs or gun shots, or torture, or suicide bombings...etc...but also. Once we bomb infrastructure and say a water treatment plant is destroyed so 1000 Iraqis die from contaminated water, or we set curfews and don't allow Iraqis to get jobs, so they basically starve to death. Those types of deaths are also counted because they come as a result of our invasion. Kind of like Hurricane Katrina, everyone didn't die from the flooding itself, but the floods caused a lot of other conditions that led to people's deaths, so you would attribute those deaths to Katrina as well. And those are counted in the 46,000+. They are listed as deaths caused directly from coalition invasion. That means that the vast majority of the deats are from the bombs, suicide bombings, insurgent attacks. VAST majority. And dude....Iraqis are not starving to death due to curfews...come on now.

    4,000 dead Americans

    Doesn't that figure count how many have died since the war started, as in every single person that dies in a terror attack gets counted. I read a figure that the number that has direct connection to coalition forces is more like 46,000. Saddam was knocking at 3 and a half million. Sounds like progress.

    And after one day of practice, Paul Pierce already has made a point to say what a great shooter Jackson is. Which is what Cleveland needed....which is why this is quite the retarded trade.

    NFL Week 6

    I think Atlanta go the worse pass interference call of the day. then they called on the wrong guy so I don't know what they were looking at.
  16. The PC I have is more affordable and just as powerful as anything that a Mac can do. I use it for graphic design and computer animation, and honestly, I still don't understand the supposed advantages to using a Mac for those purposes. Not getting into games because seriously I could give a crap, but my programs like Zbrush, 3DS MAX, Maya and others either don't have Mac equivilants or I like them better on PC. The Adobe Suite is available on PC, and once again, I don't see the advantage of using them on Mac. Film editing is supposedly better on Mac, although I don't have much experience in that field so I can't speak to it. But the only stuff I have done were with Avid on a PC and everything seemed fine. And seriously, and this isn't to be mean, but when you compare a dell to a mac, its simply a case of you need to learn to use a computer. Complaining about multiple applications coming up that are bogging your system down is a user problem, not a platform. If you know what you are doing, your startup shouldn't take that long. So maybe Macs are better out of the box? I don't know.

    UFC 64

    Why are you mentioning all these welterweights/lightweights? They are not fighting for that chance at Silva's title, they are fighting for a chance at the welterweight title. I dissagree, I think Silva has alright takedown defense . Not to mention he's a black belt in brazilian jiu jitzu, even though he never shows it. I agree. He is just "alright" at it. It is his weakness though, as I don't think there are many people that can stand with him. so why not attack the weak part of the guys arsenal instead of trying to be toughy mctougherson and stand with him. Thats what will make you a animated gif the next day.

    UFC 64

    I still say Silva is very flawed, and if someone would have swallowed their pride and took him down instead of trying to stand up with him, it would have been a different fight. Seriously, the guy doesn't have strong take down defense or ground defense, but you want to stand with him so he can punch you in your fucking face and knee the shit out of you....genius.

    NFL Week 6

    The Falcons have a super bowl champ level defense with a offense that just can't put points on the board thanks to an inept offensive coordinator. This is getting frustrating.

    The Esham Thread

    Because no one was a fan of rap without Esham. He was influential and all, but comeon. Em, Royce and D-12 at least still would have made it out. They made their names on the underground outside of detroit (well..Em and Royce. Not so much D-12).

    Dude, if you have to work as a bouncer at a strip club in Detroit, just fucking relocate. What the fuck is wrong with you? You are basically in as much danger as a cop without a gun.

    So Cleveland looked at their roster and said "You know what....I think our shooting will be fine with Larry Hughes, Eric Snow, and Daniel Gibson. Lets trade away one of our only pure shooters for a 4 th string frount court player."

    PlayStation 3

    ABout the whole Bluray disk thing. I cannot possibly fathom what could possibly take up 50 gigs or 25 gigs of info in a game. I don't think it is possible. THink of the most technically advanced beautiful game you have ever seen. That took up about 7-8 gigs at the most. There is nothing you can do but fill the disk with FMV to get to that ammount.

    NBA 2K7

    Every review, its no contest. Maybe a patch or something will come out for the Live 360 version, but otherwise, even on ESPN(who has a licsence with EA for the Live game) the reviews where not even close.

    NBA Preseason Thread

    Well some are saying that the ball feels lighter also, so that might throw off the shot, the rotation will be different due to the different feel of the ball. From what I can tell, alot of rookies and players with smaller hands like the ball though.
